1 (0:3) in Football Betting

1 (0:3) is a football betting market known as a 3-goal handicap. In this market, the home team (Team 1) starts the match with a virtual 0:3 deficit.

This means that before the match begins, 3 goals are added to the away team’s score. Your bet wins only if the home team still has more goals after this handicap is applied.

How 1 (0:3) Works

• 1 = Home team to win after handicap.
• 0:3 = Away team is given a 3-goal head start.

To win this bet, the home team must win the actual match by at least 4 goals.
